What happens here
The video shows the process of using a wide, stiff-bristled push broom to meticulously sweep dark-colored polymeric sand into the narrow gaps between light grey paver stones. The sand is initially spread on the surface of the pavers and then worked back and forth with the broom. The broom is held at an angle, and the sweeping motion is deliberate, aimed at pushing the sand downwards and distributing it evenly across the entire paved area. The key is to ensure the sand falls deep into the joints, filling them completely, while simultaneously removing any excess sand from the surface of the pavers to prevent residue from curing and potentially staining the surface.
Goal: To fully and evenly fill the joints between pavers with polymeric sand, preparing them for hydration and curing.
